Vulnerability management, prioritized to your real risk.
Uzado runs continuous scans, deduplicates findings, prioritizes by exploitability and exposure, and tracks remediation to close for businesses across North America. Qualys-powered.
VMDR, defined
Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response combines a scanning platform with a managed operations layer. Uzado runs the scans, prioritises the findings, drives remediation, and reports the work.
Counting CVEs is not vulnerability management. The metric that matters is whether real risk is being reduced over time. Uzado's VMDR treats findings as work items that flow into your ticket queue with owners, SLAs, and closure verification. Reports show trend lines, not raw counts.
Qualys is the scanning platform. Uzado runs the policy, the schedule, the remediation queue, and the audit-ready evidence pack. PCI ASV scans run on the same platform and roll up into the same operational service, so PCI quarterly compliance is not a separate workflow.
A complete VMDR engagement
Authenticated and unauthenticated scans across externally-facing and internal assets, on a defined cadence with point-in-time scans on demand.
Credentialed access to systems for accurate vulnerability detection. Catches what unauthenticated scans miss.
Findings are deduplicated, scored by exploitability and exposure, and prioritised by your real risk. CVE counts alone are not the metric.
Approved Scanning Vendor scans every 90 days for PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.2, run on Qualys with remediation tracked through close.
Findings flow into your ticket queue with owners and SLAs. Closed findings are verified by a follow-up scan, not a checkbox.
Executive trend reports, technical detail packs, and audit-ready evidence packets aligned to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS.
A five-step engagement model
Identify in-scope assets across cloud, on-prem, and SaaS. Lansweeper or your CMDB feeds the asset list.
First scans run unauthenticated, then authenticated. Findings are reviewed and deduplicated.
Findings prioritised by exploitability and exposure. High-priority items flow into your ticket queue with owners.
Uzado tracks findings through close. Re-scan validates remediation. False positives are documented and suppressed.
Quarterly programme reviews, scan policy updates, and new asset class coverage as your environment evolves.

Common vulnerability management questions
What's the difference between vulnerability management and a scan?+
A scan is one cycle. Vulnerability management is the operational programme: scanning on a cadence, deduplicating findings, prioritising by risk, tracking remediation, validating closure, and reporting. The scan is the easy part.
How is risk-based prioritization different from CVSS?+
CVSS is a base severity score. Risk-based prioritization adds context: is the affected asset internet-facing, is the vulnerability being exploited in the wild, is the asset in scope for compliance, what's the blast radius if compromised. Two CVE-9.8s with very different real-world risk get different priorities.
Do you handle PCI ASV scans?+
Yes. Uzado runs Approved Scanning Vendor scans on Qualys every 90 days for PCI Requirement 11.3.2. Remediation is tracked through close so failed scans are remediated and rescanned to a clean pass before the quarterly evidence is filed.
How are findings handed off to our IT team?+
Findings flow into your ticket queue (Jira, ServiceNow, ConnectWise, Linear). Each ticket includes the affected asset, technical detail, recommended remediation, and an SLA based on the priority. Uzado tracks the ticket through resolution.
Does this satisfy SOC 2 vulnerability management requirements?+
Yes. Uzado's vulnerability management programme produces the evidence SOC 2 CC7.1 (system operations) and CC8.1 (change management) auditors expect. The same evidence supports ISO 27001 A.8.8 (vulnerability management) and PCI DSS Requirement 11.
Can you scan SaaS applications?+
Vulnerability scanning of third-party SaaS applications is generally limited; the right control there is vendor risk management, which Uzado runs as part of Managed GRC. For SaaS that you own (your cloud-hosted applications), Uzado scans both the underlying infrastructure and the application as scoped.
